Online Utility Payments

Flat Rate BillingThe City of Alpine offers flat rate billing for water service. This allows the customer to pay the same amount each month.

Here is how it works:

The Utility Department averages the amount that the account was charged for water during the prior 12 month period.

This amount is added to the current monthly charge for sewer, garbage and recycling.

The customer agrees to pay this amount each month.

The flat rate amount is recalculated each October.

To find out more about flat rate billing, visit the City Utility Department or call 837-0047.

WaterThe Water Utilities are owned by the City of Alpine. Alpine has developed a water supply which is adequate for the near future. The City’s water is provided by two primary well fields and several individual wells.

To turn water on or off, visit the Water Utility Billing Office at 309 W. Sul Ross.
